Another vote for K9 mail. One of the few android email clients that allows pgp keys.
first time I hear about K-9, glad I read this!

Gmail because I'm super boring and it works.
Except that now I have to use Outlook too cause Uni moved from Google to Outlook
I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.
I'm still sour about Inbox being end of life'd :(
I want Inbox back :(
Don't worry, they are going to integrate all the features from inbox into Gmail. Any day now.

You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.

K9 mail on Android since many years and Thunderbird on laptop, also since many years. Also use Gmail, Yahoo Mail.
Please don't hate me, but I use the Gmail app on Android since it works well enough.
On my desktop though I use Thunderbird, and have for about as long as I can remember.
Thunderbird is the best. Been using it since many years and had no major issues.
+1 vote for Thunderbird
I use ProtonMail. Additionally, i have set up e-mail aliases with my domain - i get e-mail addresses like [email protected], or [email protected]. Its quite useful when i suddenly get sent a bunch of random spam e-mail.
I can then just block that e-mail from receving e-mail, its quite handy.
Nine, best for a full Outlook experience and a calendar color picker
Hello, fellow Nine user! Glad to see at least some other people are aware of it.

I like FairEmail on Android and don't see myself switching to something else anytime soon. For the desktop I use Thunderbird
K9 Mail is my favorite one so far. I've tried FairEmail but the UI was confusing.
I mean, thunderbird has been around forever and it's never done me dirty.
Same here, It's the second thing I install on a new computer, the first being Firefox.
Every morning when I turn on the computer, I start Firefox and Thunderbird, and then leave Thunderbird in the background, quietly doing its job.
I use k9 mail for my personal mail.
ProtonMail, Simple Login, and FairEmail.
Thunderbird with Lightning to reproduce all the outlook functionality
On Android I use FairEmail. I prefer it for it being FOSS.
I second this. This is one of the few apps I actually paid for.
I only used K-9 Mail for years
- Desktop: Thunderbird
- Android: K-9 Mail
Edison. I use it on my Pixel, iPhone, and iPad. It has some more advanced features I don't use, it just has a simple, straightforward UI on iOS and Android and doesn't hassle me too much about upgrading to paid features.
ProtonMail :) (Edit: Oh i see client! (no matter as long as it works with ProtonBridge, or just web UI)
I use Thunderbird, but I absolutely despise the tabbed interface for everything. It used to be optional; then you could restore the old interface with an extension; now even that has been removed. I should just uninstall it at this point and find something different, especially given that my filters and rules are handled at the server level now.
I use alpine on smaller email accounts.
In the past, I liked Eudora the best.
K-9 on Android, Thunderbird on desktop. I love both of them, but K-9 has some weird problem that background sync appear to be not working.
Used Gmail for a long time, 2 weeks ago switched to Outlook and simply amazed. It's easy to use, doesn't show you any ads unlike Gmail. And keep tracking the mails is much more enjoyable compared to Gmail. I believe it can do more of that if rules can be applied to Google mail accounts.
Spark for Android
Thunderbird on the desktop, Aquamail on Android, RoundCube/SquirrelMail via the web in a pinch. Back in the day I also used Evolution on Linux (when T-bird was buggy and lacking some features). Despite having many email buckets in the cloud, I keep no mail in any of them. I've self-hosted since '99, so I've been able to do whatever.
I did use Outlook back in sepia times (pre-'98) and used Pegasus and/or Pine before that. :p
I started using Spark late last year. It's simplified my mail handling quite a bit. There's also a desktop client for Windows, Dunno about OSX and IOS.
Gmail on mobile, Gmail website on desktop
Outlook. It's solid on android and windows
Used to be a big fan til they started sneaking Bing search into my long press context menu.

Thunderbird!
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
I ❤️ FairMail. It is so customizable and versatile, I even bought the pro version for support.
Desktop = Thunderbird
Android= AquaMail
K9 Mail on my phone, neomutt on the desktop.
I used outlook for years. Then they threw ads in between emails... I instantly deleted outlook and haven't looked back. The last place I want to see ads is my fucking email 🙄

- On my desktop: GNOME Evolution - but only because my university uses Outlook w/ Exchange (cringe) and the UI is slightly more tolerable than Thunderbird.
- On my phone: I just use the baked-in Samsung Mail app.
In terms of provider, I used to use Gmail for my personal, but got tired of Big G scraping my correspondence. I tried Proton, but its integration story is a complete joke (you can upload your calendar and contacts but there's no DAV support, their IMAP bridge is a non-standard-compliant dumpster fire that doesn't work with half the clients I tried...) so I ended up on Fastmail.
